Product development is innovation. Innovation is the key to growth and sustainability. This two-day seminar is designed to provide participants with an in depth understanding of Agile APQP for hyper-accelerated time to market launches with less risk, fewer design loop backs, and greater confidence that product decisions made during development meet customer requirements.


Students will be taught how to deliver successful new products in about a third the time it takes for traditional waterfall product development methods by using Agile APQP workflows. Students will learn how Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) requirements are met using this proven and innovative approach. This is not a quality driven initiative. This is product development and product innovation.


With consumers around the globe demanding more innovative products be released faster, product designers need to stay ahead of these expectations and their competition. More today than ever, products that take multiple years to develop risk being obsolete before they enter the marketplace.
